yo hambone - I saw the movie Big Wednesday last night, any influence? Cool flick, nice wave footage, like a surfer's 'The Deer Hunter'.

'Are you a surfer? No, I'm just a garbageman.'

Well backing to monotouchcontrol, i put more info now.
I no wantcreate false spectative.

This control its just for people want use ableton for DJING
Not for musician, in the future can be , form now, just for djs.

If you have money, and want super wonderfull controller, yes, go and buy LEMUR its the number one controller.

If you ar dj, and want usefull contoller, and play with laptop pc, or mac intel latop runing windows, you can use this !!
If you have mac intel can use with macosx, but need install windows on the mac under paralles software.

This is just for djing, this its not hardware cheap remplace for LEMUR, wnat the best controller of the world, BUY the lemur.

Need usefull contoller for djing! and you are latop dj! this can be your solution.

Best regards.

Wow, just checked out the LEMUR; looks amazing. But 1500 quid? Jesus! Exciting though, Fuck the turntables, this is clearly the future. Imagine in ten years when you can buy that sort of hardware for a fiith of the price.

1 970.82 € for lemur
On USA, 2195 U$

If you are sirius software based musician, lemur its great, i repeat and repeat the same, if you ar dj too, but i be honest and all djs i think share this idea:

Use lemur for juts use like simple trigger...........mmmmmm not good idea and little expensive............correct?

For that reason this project its alive, monotouchlive born like cheap and lemuristic way, to control the ableton.

I love lemur, for that reason i work on something with that concept.

On my studio i work with hardware, i have korg electibe mx, sx, mc 909, microkorg, and soon korg radias, i use software for edit soem samples etc etc.
But if you are 100% software musician, lemur its the best tool, not spend money on other contollers.

When i play on partys, i use live for djing and make special version on the fly of all i play, but actual controllers are a nightmare and some good options like ozone ........well are super expensive, anothe like BCR or BCF bheinger, are cheap, but the number of tiggers, not meet basic requrimients when you want really play with ableton.

If you have the money for the lemur, and want use like simple trigger .......go !! lol i not tell to anybody how use the money lol.
But if you not are super start dj with lot of money, and want play with ableton djing controller, designed by dj, and want fantastic controller look too........well stay tuned!

Sorry for repat the same, just no want create false spectative to anybody! for taht reaosn i try very clear about thsi contoller.
Anyway i know makeing piblic full specs of this product, disipate all questios flying around.

11 sep 2006 its the day !

Hi, im new to this kind of controllers, all i want to know is if your new product fixes the issue commented on this other thread ("soft takeover"):

http://www.ableton.com/forum/viewtopic. ... sc&start=0

Thanks

Soft takeover is a MUST for any controller with software-configurable or moving faders/knobs, or rotary encoders.

They're not very useful otherwise.

This is not meant to be a sarcastic question....

Isn't this just a touchscreen version of a UC33e?

Isn't soft-takeover a feature of the host, rather than the controller ?
i.e. the host ignores jumps and reacts to incoming data when it has reached the current parameter's value ?
